Rehearsal Dinner

Here are some pictures from the rehearsal and dinner.

Jenna doesn't look nervous at all!

Sorry I got you with your eyes closed Zach!

What a lovely couple.

Jenna is not very good at spelling, which she got from her dad.

Funny stories were shared:

"Can I erupt?"

"See, my dad is bald!"

Group Hug!

Ireland right around the corner

Ireland is right around the corner - I can't believe it. It has really snuck up on us. My Grandma Theus always said to me that Ireland is truly an Emerald in the sea. This picture really captures that and I hope to be able to get a picture just like this. Let's hope for a not so cloudy arrival.

Only a couple more days!

A couple more days till Jenna and Keith's Wedding!

And then we are off to Ireland - Doolin, Ireland

We love you Grandma!

Grandma Theus passed away, but will always be remembered in our hearts.

Grandma loved being in the kitchen.

Grandma with Frankie. Halloween was close by so Frankie had plastic vampire teeth.

Grandma would have enjoyed this meal - the food and drinks were wonderful.

Natalie and I had Austrailian Sea Bass in honor of Grandma Theus.

She made a wonderful Sea Bass meal during a family gathering in the past.

Camping with Chewy

So I didn't take any pictures when we went camping with Chewy. He did really well so he will go with us next time we camp. I found some pictures online so that I don't have just text here. Also there is a picture of Chewy with his new toy from Lauren and James. It was perfect for the camping trip because it flashes when it is bumped or chewed on. Great for around the campfire.

Chewy is 1 year old!

For Chewy's b-day we went to the dog park.

Here are Guinness and Duncan

and Kiki on the other side of the fence.

Bailey had fun rolling in the grass.
Cathy and Chris brought Nestle and Hershey to the party.
Justin and Megan brought Zoey and Evie.
We had so much fun!

Then it turned into a beach party...

Nestle and Hershey LOVE the water.

They convinced Chewy to give it a try.

Duncan and Kiki went in too, but they decided it isn't for them.

Nestle and Hershey

Chewy helped me dog-sit this weekend.

Nestle is dark chocolate and Hershey is milk chocolate.

BBQ

We joined the Troyer's for a b-day BBQ blow-out. The weather was wonderful.
